The Washington Commanders made three more moves before tomorrow’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Dan Quinn told reporters earlier today that Sam Hartman was getting signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. He will be the team’s emergency 3rd QB tomorrow, and for the season finale if Marcus Mariota is out again. Josh Johnson is getting the start tomorrow, and the Commanders signed their former QB3, Jeff Driskel, from the Arizona Cardinals earlier this week to back him up.

There was an open spot on the roster after WR Jamal Agnew, who was claimed off waivers from the...

The Washington Commanders held their third practice of a shortened week as they prepare to host the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow on Christmas day. Dan Quinn announced that Marcus Mariota wasn’t playing this week after getting stitches in his throwing hand, and also had a quad injury. Josh Johnson will get the start with newly re-signed Jeff Driskel backing him up.

Washington placed DT Eddie Goldman, G Sam Cosmi (concussion), and WR/PR Jaylin Lane (ankle) on injured reserve on Monday, and claimed two players. WR/PR Jamal Agnew was one of those players, but he was waived yesterday with a failed physical....

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before today’s Christmas Eve practice. This is the team’s third, and final practice before they host the Cowboys on Christmas day. Quinn named the team captains for this week, with Chris Rodriguez Jr, Frankie Luvu, and Tress Way getting the nod this week.

Quinn also provided some injury updates and named Josh Johnson the starter for Week 17. Marcus Mariota needed stitches on his throwing hand, and was also dealing with a quad injury, and won’t play this week. The team signed Jeff Driskel off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, bringing back last year’s...

Josh Conerly Jr. is turning into a cornerstone tackle for the Commanders

After struggling out of the gate, the rookie has kept improving, thanks in large part to the mentorship of left tackle Laremy Tunsil.

Seemingly everywhere Tunsil goes, Conerly is two steps behind.

Their bond developed after an intentional effort by Tunsil, who benefited from the guidance of older players after he was drafted in the first round by the Miami Dolphins in 2016. When the Commanders selected Conerly in the first round this April, Tunsil was the first person...

It’s week 17 of the NFL season and the 4-11 Washington Commanders will be facing a 6-8-1 Dallas Cowboys team at home at Northwest Stadium on Christmas Day (Thursday) at 1:00 pm EDT. The Cowboys have been a lot of fun to watch most weeks, with one of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL and a defense that allows some of the most points scored in the NFL.

On offense, the Cowboys are coached by OC and run-game designer Klayton Adams, as well as HC and playcaller Brian Schottenheimer. Adams was previously the OL coach of the Arizona Cardinals and...

The 2025 season did not turn out like anyone hoped or expected. Christmas is just around the corner, and instead of gift-wrapped playoff seeds under the tree, Commanders fans can look forward to big lumps of coal in their stockings.

For the roughly 2/3 of Hogs Haven readers whose outlook seems to swing up and down from week to week, depending on game outcomes, it may be time to either tune out or wallow in the misery with lamentations of offseason mistakes and calls for the coaching staff and/or front office to be fired, and maybe even for the owner...

The Washington Commanders held their second practice of a shortened week as they prepare to host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Christmas day. Marcus Mariota wasn’t at practice after getting stitches in his hand, and he’s also dealing with a quad injury from Saturday’s game against the Eagles. The Commanders claimed Jeff Driskel off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad yesterday, and he’ll likely be Josh Johnson’s backup against the Cowboys. Jayden Daniels continues to be a limited participant in practice after getting shut down when after he reaggravated his elbow dislocation.

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingbury talked to reporters before Tuesday’s practice started. The team is on a short week, coming off a game on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles, and preparing to host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Christmas day. They are likely to be down to their third-string QB with Marcus Mariota getting stitches in his hand, and dealing with a quad injury.

The team signed Jeff Driskel off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad yesterday. He was Washington’s QB3 last season, and will likely be active, along with current QB3 Josh Johnson, over Sam Hartman who is on...

It’s been a while since we’ve done a mock draft roundup, but with two weeks to go in the season, we’re back for another round. The Washington Commanders’ season has been a disaster and they currently sit at 4-11, and are projected to get the No. 7 overall pick in next year’s draft. There will obviously be a lot of changes again next year with 33 pending free agents, a lot of cap space, and 6 draft picks. Injuries have been a major problem this year, and they will need a big infusion of youth and talent next season.

Tress Way has been very good this season, and he’s earned his third Pro Bowl nod. He was named the starting punter for the NFC in this year’s Pro Bowl Games. The event will be held in San Francisco the week before the Super Bowl. Way was the only Washington Commanders player named as a starter in the Pro Bowl this year. The team has had a disastrous season, but Way has once again take the title of MVP.

The Commanders also had two alternates named to the Pro Bowl. Rookie WR/PR Jaylin Lane had two punt return TDs this...

If Marcus Mariota can’t go, Commanders could turn to Josh Johnson. Or Jeff Driskel.

Commanders’ QB situation is muddled ahead of Thursday’s game. Also, no players are expected to be suspended for the brawl during Saturday’s game.

[T]he Commanders (4-11) again find themselves preparing for a game with public uncertainty about who will be under center. Coach Dan Quinn said Mariota is day-to-day after receiving stitches to his throwing hand; the team probably will not announce whether he will be able to play until Wednesday.

If Mariota can’t go against the...
